Can't see us signing Isak and Pedro unless Wood is off.

 

I won't pretend I have watched them enough to say they would fit in.  But I reckon you could get 2 of Isak, Pedro and Wilson into the front three.  

 

Wilson is always injured, Almiron is still to contribute goals and assists and we currently have a seemingly half fit Fraser and Murphy as the next off the bench to play out wide.  The more the merrier with the attacking players.

Why? We need depth in the squad. 

4 senior strikers for 1 position?

Pedro isn’t a striker

That is a bit cruel, even worse if he has to mope his way to Everton instead. I'm rooting for the lad he still ends up here.

I really rate Pedro and think he has a high ceiling fwiw. I’d ideally take Isak + Pedro and 1 other.

I'm pretty sure he is?

If you got both any they hit their potential you could have solved the striker position for the next 10 years or so.

Not his best position according to Watford fans

Ok. Played most of his matches as a centre forward according to Transfermarkt though. So I think it's fair to say he's a striker.

[BottledDog]

Really not sure about these thread titles like. 

[Lush Vlad]

Possibly just semantics, but I get the impression he is a forward.  Not just a striker or number 9 in the same way Wilson is, or Wood is supposed to be. 

 

That was how it was explained to me by my Watford supporting mate, who is also a scout and a bit of a tactics, analysis nerd.

striker isn’t Wood’s best position either, don’t worry.

The 1 other being Paqueta of course!?

Probably best to listen to the fans who watch him week in week out 

[McCormick]

Both can play wide and upfront tbf.

[McCormick]

Isak, Pedro and a midfielder (by Jesus if it’s Paqueta) and we have squad capable of challenging for Europa positions. Let’s fucking go (please).

I'm trying to remember the same question that was literally asked for over a year. Was it "Would you employ a manager who won the 2002 league cup?" or something? 

 

I reckon @Wullie will know

 

Ha, I'm not sure but there was always large swathes of everything he posted that I hope he had in a separate document to c&p, otherwise he spent a lot of time typing exactly the same sentences out day after day for about five years. 

[Novocastrian]

Getting a feeling we aren’t going to pursue Pedro now. Think there was a bit more to do and now we’ve went for Isak we’ll leave this.

[gbandit]

Hope not, I really like him and think there’s room in the team for both him and Isak as Wilson and Wood are difficult to depend on for different reasons 

[SUPERTOON]

Few journos still saying we want Pedro as well

Same here, but watching videos of them they both seem very similar in style, but Isak is obviously a more polished finisher from what footage is available. I suppose it depends if Pedro is willing to come as a squad player for now, or might prefer to be first choice for some secondary team on Merseyside.

[BennyBlanco]

So what’s going on with this one? We obviously can’t have both. . . Can we?

Of course we can, and should. We desperately need depth off the bench that can actually change a game rather than just to bring on to say hold a lead.
